Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management |
|
This programme has been devised on the basis that students will attend a course of study not less than 120 credits. It is articulated to an MBA so therefore entry requirements will cover both courses.
Objectives:
This course is designed to give students a good understanding of the responsibilities of a manager and the techniques they will use to deal with different situations as well as the legal requirements within their role.
- A UK or equivalent second class if fresh graduate or degree plus 2 years middle management experience. Anyone without a degree must have 4 - 5 years management experience. These entry qualifications will also cover the MBA progression. A normal three year degree will be required for progression to MA in Management.
- English language must normally be IELTS 5.5 or provided the medium of instructions at the Degree level was English.
- Total Credit for the course is 120 and it has 1200 learning hours.
- The students will receive two overall marks one for the unit exam/coursework and another for the Research project.
- Students will have to pass both sections.
- For the Unit/exam/course work section the marks will be divided up as follows -
- 30% For the final exam - This will be based on a case study with six questions covering all units. (Marked based on 100% and weighted down to 30%)
- 70% for the six (four core and two optional) unit exams/coursework/ discussion reports (Marked based on 100% then weighted down to 11.6% per unit)
- Each question will have equal marks therefore students who have not passed a particular unit exam/coursework etc can make up their marks on the final examination.
- 50% is the pass mark for all units.
- The Research Project will be marked separately and students need to achieve 50% pass mark.
